Not sure I agree the premise of the article. Sales are going to be down when there are fewer AAA releases to drive hardware sales. It's taking longer and longer to develop those games and the budget required no longer justifies console exclusivity.

I think 2025 will be the real measure of console strength when the big releases are scheduled to come out.

First point is more true today than it was in the past. It is impossible to build a gaming pc for $400-500 that is capable of playing most modern games at high settings (without RT) and play at 60 fps. The gpu capable of doing that is around $300 by itself.

I think the longevity of consoles also plays a large part in their appeal. Knowing you can use the system to play at consistent performance levels for 7-8 years is a comforting thought.

For the PC side, I'm not sure about your point about drivers. Nvidia/AMD/Intel regularly release day 1 drivers to improve compatibility with new games.

We'll have to wait ~ 2 years since the next round of AMD cards are rumoured to be midrange cards. The Steves are right that if A.I is still as profitable for both AMD and Nvidia by then, expect prices to go up for any flagship. It wouldn't make any business sense not to.

This was a major plot point in Doctorow's Bezzle that I just finished. It's depressing to see it happening in real life but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Maybe his history of being arrested by police at other political events played a part in heightened tensions here. Not saying being an intolerable asshole warrants automatic arrest.

Also for anyone unfamiliar with the Toronto Sun, it's our version of the Daily Mail in the UK.

Troubleshooting can be difficult. I'll only say you'll save yourself alot of time and energy by establishing a baseline for power usage with just the essential components necessary for boot to see what you're working with. Then you can make better informed decisions.

I think they're comparing chrome's user interface which, on a tablet, switches to a more desktop like interface with the tab bar instead of the tab counter. It is something I wish firefox would also implement but not a deal breaker.

Monitor CPU usage and frequencies to ensure CPU is throttling down properly. Then start unplugging hard drives, ram, nic cable to see how they affect power usage. Servethehome shows an N305 idling around 10w in a minipc without HDDs.

Firefox has been my preferred browser since 0.9. But whenever I help set up a relative's or friend's computer, I always install chrome as the default browser. With the lack of adherence to web standards and most sites only testing against chrome, it just makes chrome/chromium the obvious choice if you don't want to deal with the occasional breakage.

Yup, based on overseer. It's a great selfhosted way to see what's new and popular.

You're right in that over the long term, a PC gamer will probably end up spending less on their hobby. But for someone starting from scratch and trying to decide on a path, the console remains the cheaper and easier platform to jump into.

I don't see where I mentioned optimization but I am curious and maybe you can elaborate further on what I'm guessing are probably the differences between game patch optimizations vs driver level optimizations?

Voyager but keeping an eye on the development of Raccoon.

After having tried what seems like every available desktop rss frontend, I just settled on the freshrss mapco theme with the landscape thumbnail and dark mode via dark reader instead of the built in option.

For the article loading issues, I'd recommend full-text-rss.

Great ANC is still a premium feature that you'll pay a premium price for. But good ANC has made its way into the budget space and if you're willing to compromise on some features, you'll find some decent options.

Absolutely this. It is becoming increasingly rare to find a game that doesn't work in linux (excluding stupid copy protection/anti-cheat implementations). We haven't reached the works-out-of-the-box stage but the combination of proton-ge/wine-ge with lutris or heroic provides a solid alternative to games not on steam.

Unfortunately I don't think AMD (& Nvidia) care about GPU gaming market share when they'll be selling all the MI accelerators they can make using the same wafers at much higher profit margins.

As consumers, we're going to have to get used to getting mediocre offerings at inflated prices until the AI hype dies down or they find a way to use some of the other manufacturing nodes to make competitive GPUs.

I like what the Arc division has been doing lately, especially with Linux support. I am looking forward to what battlemage can bring to the table.

If it's something you're really worried about, maybe something like https://github.com/NHAS/wag will help along with your secure totp app.

I have the video but haven't gotten around to watching it yet. Anything I should look out for?

It complements the arrs. You can request shows and movies in seer and it adds it in the arrs.

Nothing complicated. Nextcloud assistant with nextcloud office and generating emails in fairemail.

I'm sure people have but my guess is they're more likely to be bluesky people instead of lemmy people.

The Sunshine girl page was usually the only part of a newspaper that was read by the guys in my school back in the day.

I posted the video to give additional context to non-canandians and anyone who isn't familiar with the rebel news crowd and their ilk of outrage theatre clowns. No offense but if you were really curious, a quick search would've easily answered your question. Whether you choose to do so or not is not my concern.

That's great and all but if your experience was typical, Mozilla wouldn't have created webcompat.com and it wouldn't be as busy as it appears to be. We can probably work around such issues but I wouldn't expect non-techies to do the same.

My main use is chatgptbox with my instance of searxng. Also comes in handy when looking for a shell command or script with ai-shell.

Then there's the various integrations in documents, notes, etc...

To what end? Is there a magic number of arrests that will change your opinion on this matter? We both agree the cops were heavy handed in this latest incident. Not the first or last time it's going to happen but the selective pearl clutching is ridiculous.

Yup.
